Managing NonStop Software Management Databases
Canceling the Check-Out of a Database Object
NOTE: Before canceling the check-out of an object, be sure the planner or operator who checked
out the object is not available to complete the task. Cancel the check-out only if you cannot free
the resource any other way.
In normal processing, a user or request that checks out these objects from the database has exclusive
access to the object:
• The Configuration Manager profile
• Target system profiles
• Software packages
• Configuration revisions
No other user or request can access that object to update the database until it is no longer checked
out. You might cancel a check-out when an error has occurred or when a user leaves an activity
unattended for an extended period, preventing other users and requests from updating the database.
When a check-out is canceled, the work in progress is lost, and the database is returned to the
state it was in before the activity was initiated. If the check-out was caused by a NonStop Software
Essentials request, try to cancel the request before canceling the check-out. (See
“Canceling a
Request” (page 145) .) If the check-out was caused by an activity other than a request, all database
cleanup is automatic.
Using the Maintenance Interface, you can cancel the check-out of objects on either the host or
target system:
1. On the main menu, enter a 4 (Check-Out Cancellation Management) in the Selection Number
field, and press F1. DSM/SCM displays the Check-Out Cancellation Management menu.
2. On the Check-Out Cancellation Management menu, enter one of these numbers in the Selection
Number field, and press F1:
a.
To see if the Configuration Manager profile is checked out
b. To display a list of checked-out target system profiles
c. To display a list of checked-out software packages
d. To display a list of checked-out configuration revisions
DSM/SCM displays a Check-Out screen for the item you selected. The screen lists the items
that have been checked out and the user ID or activity ID holding the check-out. If no items
are checked out, an advisory message appears.
3. To cancel the check-out of the Configuration Manager profile, from the Configuration Manager
Profile Check-Out screen, press F4.
To cancel the check-out of a target system profile, a software package, or a configuration
revision, on the appropriate Check-Out screen, enter any character in the Selection field of
each item to cancel the check-out; then press F4.
Moving a Database through ZPHIHMI or ZPHTMI
You can move the database from one volume to another on the same system using the ZPHIHMI
or ZPHITMI.
